We use a combination of NMAP, Nessus, and GFI Languard.  GFI Languard is the only product in the list that cost money 
and it is not very expensive.

Subject: [SECURITY] Penetration Testing Software

We are looking at penetration testing, either by a third party or by using purchased software in-house.  I was curious 
what others were doing, some costs and issues.
